Chinese PC enthusiast website Coolaler set a new world-record score for the lowest time taken to crunch Super Pi 1M benchmark, their setup did it in 7.281 seconds. Here's what they used to achieve this feat:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 at 6.253 GHz (625 x 10) with VCore of 1.936V

DFI LAN-Party UT P35 motherboard

G.Skill 4GBPI DDR2 at 1285MHz memory

Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) cooling

Looking at their previous run of 6.143 GHz, this is also the highest overclock for the E8600 so far.

Man, that is so freaking impressive, but what is the POINT? 1.9V has to kill the chip very quickly.

By the same token, what's the point of drag racing? The point is it's something some people like to do, for both themselves, and for the competition. People that get their stuff from a sponsor don't worry about blowing shit up, trust me. lol.
